Frank Grillo thinks the world is ready for an A.I. hero on the big screen … ’cause he argues humans ain’t fixing the world on their own!

We caught up with the actor at LAX on Thursday … and we asked him about his upcoming film “Override” — in which he will play an A.I. “synthetic angel,” according to Variety.

Grillo says he believes the world’s ready for such a hero because we aren’t “making it happen” in terms of saving the world at this point.

Grillo also gave our cameraman a little guff … bringing up the last time the two spoke when he talked about his legacy — and his plane caught on fire just minutes later!

ICYMI … Grillo revealed he wanted to leave enough dough behind for his kids in order to set them up for life — and then his Delta flight suffered an engine fire.

Thankfully, Frank shared in a follow-up post that everyone was alright … though he shamed Delta Airlines for what he felt was lackluster compensation after their plane’s jet engine burst into flames.
